RE: Yeah right
You obviously didn't read fanboi Rik Myslewski's article on how soon his iPad became an iDustGatherer:

Centering on surfing - one of the few things an iPad is reasonable for, and nowhere near as good as even a tablet PC, let alone a laptop - and then comparing it to a BlackBerry - which is a business smartphone, not a surfing toy - is just another poor feature-sell by the fanbois. Honestly, it's as bad as saying that a kid can sit in the backseat of a car and eat an icecream, which the rider of a motorbike really wouldn't want to do, therefore the car is the better transport device! If you want a transport device for shifting kids eating icecream then the car probably is the better idea, but try telling the millions that commute daily on motorbikes, past queues of stationary traffic, that they should give up their bikes for that reason, and they'll tell you how stupid you are. Same goes for the BB - it's a business tool, not a fanboi toy.
And seeing as it is nice and sunny today I'm going to stay out and sunbathe on my stone, thanks, with my large-screen laptop on an extension cord (so I don't have to worry about eyestrain and the battery going flat, and I get great WiFi connectivity that works!).
